If you're in Denton and want to snag some beers to go, please check out The Bearded Monk. Ben and his team of Beertenders enjoy and sell beer. You can find some of the latest beers as well as some nostalgic beers you don't always see in the big box stores. The space seems small on the outside you would expect an antique quaint shop. Then you go in and see an impressive tap wall of crushable beer, rows of beers to purchase, and a cold case. The Bearded Monk has a quirky and lovable attitude and vibe that you want to stay all day. By 5 p.m., scrolling and enjoying my beer, I think I should have been gone a long time ago. SMH. It was so peaceful sitting at a table. If I had my book I would have been in complete bliss! You can bring food from the nearby food Truck or that amazing Mexican restaurant around the corner. I don't get to Denton that often but when I do; The Bearded Monk is on the list.

What a great place and awesome owner! Ben was so friendly, I would be a regular if I was a local and I don't drink beer! I was on a business trip and came in looking for beer for my hubby. Ben helped me find stuff he would like. They have a cool selection and he showed me some hard to find beers. My husband also collects stickers and Ben hooked us up with several. After buying the beer, Ben threw in a couple koozies. I also found a cool Beer Journal that I bought as well. Ican't wait to actually take my husband, I know he will love hanging out here.

Traveling and stopped in. Love the atmosphere. Super knowledgeable staff that can walk you thru the beer selection. Wide selection if you want to take something home. If back in the area will definitely be back.

Great new craft beer store offering a wide selection. Hard working and friendly staff make you feel welcome and will chat with you not down to you. Available in singles, 6 packs or growlers to go or a nice selection on draft. Follow on Facebook for weekly events and tappings.

Great beer selection, friendly people and great vibe in a fantastic town! They allow you to bring in outside food to eat while you drink a beer from the tap and decide what 6 pack or bomber you want to take home. Knowledgeable staff help you make a selection you'll love! 21 taps for growler fills plus a wide array of cans and bottles ensures everyone can find something they enjoy.

I would like to give this place 5 stars but just can't. It's definitely a great place to shop for craft beer and to try something new. Prices are pretty good and they have a huge selection. They have a good amount of beers on tap and I enjoyed both beers that I tried. Now for the negatives. With all this beer to choose from, no one asked if we needed any help or offered to make any suggestions. I have never heard of 90% of the beers and would have loved if someone had attempted to offer to help. I was going to ask for help but the staff seemed to be hanging out and unavailable to help. We even heard a girl working there say 'We should kick all the customers out so that we can go home.' That didn't make us feel very welcome. While we were drinking our beers there were 3 tables that had empty bottles or glasses on them that never got cleaned up. No one ever came and checked on us. There wasn't any music or anything playing. For awhile all the staff was outside and we were the only ones in the building with no noise at all. Was really awkward. I feel like I am being generous with my 3 stars. I have always heard great things about Bearded Monk, butI'm not sure if we will be back. There are a lot of cool bars in Denton that we love and feel welcome in.

This place is superb! Came in for afterwork drinks with my boyfriend. We are both big beer nerds, and boy we were not let down!!! Interior: Chill, vintage, comfortable, welcoming, organized. Not too crowded, but it was a bit early during the week (5:30), a steady stream of people. They have local artists and even employees who have their artwork on display inside (all for sale). They also have t-shirts, locally crafted candles, beer glasses, etc etc.The vibe seemed a bit older, so even though it is a college town, most of the people coming in seemed to be young professional-ish aged. Beer Selection: Expansive, many many harder to find bottles and specialty brews. They have about 15-20 beers on tap, and the bartenders were great at recommending and letting us a have a few tasters to make sure we liked them. You can also buy and fill your growlers here which is fabulous! Bartenders: Funny, and seemed like really nice guys. Knowledgeable about the beers, the breweries, the styles, the locations and hops etc. I ended up getting the Raspberry Temptress (Imperial Milk Stout) - delicious! and they have it on draft and in big bottles. I also had the Yellow Rose (American IPA). Recommend 100%. Will become one of my regular neighborhood haunts.

See all

Ben is the kind of person you want to talk beer with without getting too "judgy" or nerdy if you don't want to.

This is a great local bar and restaurant. Have been here quite a few times now and love the food…read moreand folks. Eric is a solid bartender you make sure you are taken care of.

We stopped by to see a friend play some live music and really like the vibe of this place. It's two…read morestories, and the upstairs patio is an awesome place to hang out. The building has that old-school charm that makes it feel like it's been part of the neighborhood for ages. They've got daily specials all week long even on the weekends and the drink prices were super reasonable. Definitely a good spot for day drinking and relaxing with friends. As for the service, well it was slow. Not because the staff wasn't working hard, because they were, but they were clearly understaffed and maybe a little inexperienced. It wasn't wall-to-wall packed, but still things did take a while. Same with the food, everyone around us had ordered, and we could tell the kitchen was struggling. We later heard there was just one cook handling everything ,which explains the long wait. But the food is worth it. We had the beer cheese soup, grilled cheese, and some tots. Throw the tots in the soup, trust me on this one ! Simple but very delicious. The live music was also different, lots of variety and different bands of musicians rotating through with all kinds of styles. Overall, we really liked this bar, it was very laid-back, affordable with lots of personality. If im in. the area again I'll definitely be back!
